East Palo Alto Academy Foundation

East Palo Alto Academy Foundation (EPAAF) is a small nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the work of East Palo Alto Academy (EPAA), a public charter high school in the Sequoia Union High School District. The mission of EPAAF is to support the students and graduates of EPAA through high school and postsecondary pathways and into meaningful careers by providing academic, navigational, social-emotional, and financial resources. A majority of our students are first-generation, from low-income communities, and are from diverse backgrounds. Our students are resilient, hardworking, and determined to be the first to graduate from college.

EPAAF’s holistic approach empowers EPAA graduates to disrupt the cycle of poverty and diversify the culture of power through education. We are proud that our students' hard work, determination, and the collective support of our high school and college programs have contributed to incredible results.
